TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates mainly to a novel 15-membered azalide and a novel 16-membered diazalide derivative which are effective against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The present invention also relates to a synthetic intermediate thereof and a method for preparation thereof.

BACKGROUND ART

Macrolide antibiotics generally have low toxicity and are orally available. Therefore, in the field of therapeutic treatments of bacterial infectious diseases, macrolides are one of classes of clinically important antibacterial agents. The macrolide antibiotics are classified roughly into a class of 14-membered macrolides and a class of 16-membered macrolides from a viewpoint of the number of ring-membered atoms of a lactone ring moiety as an aglycone. As a chemically modified antibacterial agent, azithromycin is known which is a commercially available 15-membered macrolide and has a nitrogen atom introduced in the lactone ring (U.S. Pat. No. 4,474,768 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,517,359). For preparation of azithromycin, the nitrogen atom is introduced by converting the 9-position ketone of erythromycin as a 14-membered macrolide to an oxime, then reducing an imino ether compound which is obtained by Beckmann rearrangement (J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. 1,1881, 1986, J. Antibiot., 41, 1029, 1988). Macrolide derivatives containing a nitrogen atom as a ring-constituting atom of the lactone ring as mentioned above are presently known as a class of azalides.

Some reports relating to azalide skeletons are known other than the azithromycin. However, as far as position of a nitrogen atom in the lactone ring, only two kinds of structures are known Specifically, only those azalides are known in which a nitrogen atom is located in 9th or 10th position counterclockwise from a carbonyl group of a lactone tentatively regarded in the 1-position.

As azalides derived from 16-membered macrolide, 8a-aza-8a-homotylosin derivatives and 9a-aza-9a-homotylosin derivatives are reported which are synthesized from a 9-keto-oxime derivative of a tylosin by applying a ring expansion reaction through Beckmann rearrangement in the same manner as azithromycin (European Patent No. 410433, WO 00/77016). These derivatives are 17-membered azalides, in which a nitrogen atom located in 9th or 10th position from a carbonyl group of a lactone tentatively regarded in the 1-position, in the same manner as the aforementioned azalides derived from the 14-membered macrolide.

The aforementioned azithromycin exhibits characteristic pharmacodynamics compared with the other macrolide antibiotics, and has a feature to be effective against some Gram-negative bacteria.

Among the 16-membered macrolides, those clinically used so far are a class of leucomycin antibiotics including their derivatives. Studies for a purpose of improving their effectiveness have been made so far by The Kitasato Institute, Toyo Jozo Co., Ltd. (former name) or many entities including our firm, and as a result, rokitamycin (J. Antibiot., 34, 1001, 1981, J. Antibiot., 34, 1011, 1981), and miokamycin (J. Antibiot., 29, 536, 1976, J. Antibiot., 34, 436, 1981) have been launched in the market.

It has been known that pharmacodynamics of the 16-membered macrolide is not fully satisfactory compared with that of the 14-membered macrolide (J. Ferment. Technol., 57, 519, 1979), and it is one of important objects to improve this fault (J. Antimicrobial. Chemotherapy, 28, 787, 1991). Further, the leucomycin 16-membered macrolides available so far are effective mainly against Gram-positive bacteria, and some improvements are achievable in antibacterial activities against Gram-negative bacteria. Accordingly, developments of macrolides have been expected which are effective also against Gram-negative bacteria.

A review of past technologies from a viewpoint of organic synthesis, relating to construction of macrocyclic compounds containing nitrogen atoms, revealed some reports, as for cyclization reaction using a primary amine of dialdehyde under a reducing amination condition, which relate to synthesis of nitrogen-containing aliphatic hetero ring having a small number of constituting elements that form a ring structure, such as 5-membered pyrrolidine derivatives (Tetrahedron, 42, 259, 1986, Synthesis, 789, 2000 and the like), or 6-membered piperidine derivatives (Tetrahedron, 46, 231, 1990, SYNLETT, 361, 1996, Synthesis, 789, 2000 and the like). Almost no cyclization reaction by reductive amination using a primary amine or a dialkylhydrazine of a dialdehyde intermediate compound has been known as for synthesis of nitrogen-containing aliphatic hetero ring having 7-membered ring or more.

Recently, the inventors of the present invention found that a novel 16-membered macrolide derivative, which was obtained by applying various chemical modification on 12- or 13-position of a lactone ring of a leucomycin-class 16-membered macrolide used as a starting material, had improved antibacterial activities against Gram-positive erythromycin-resistant bacteria, and the antibacterial activities were not reduced under physiological conditions. They also found that a certain class of derivatives in which the neutral sugar was removed had potent antibacterial activities against Gram-negative bacteria (WO 02/64607). The inventors of the present invention later found a reaction for a synthesis of 15-membered and 16-membered nitrogen-containing hetero rings using a dialdehyde intermediate compound derived from a leucomycin-class 16-membered macrolide under a reductive amination condition.

Compared with a class of tylosin 16-membered macrolides, leucomycin-class 16-membered macrolides generally have less concern about safety as a medicament. In addition, no report has been made about an azalide prepared by using a leucomycin-class 16-membered macrolide as a starting material.

As for the diazalides, a report was made of a compound derived from erythromycin, in which two nitrogen atoms were introduced into a ring by replacing the oxygen atoms in the lactone moiety as the aglycone of the azalide with nitrogen atoms (WO94/15617). However, no report has been made as for a diazalide having two adjacent nitrogen atoms in a ring which is derivatized from erythromycin or a leucomycin-class macrolide.

Further, no report is made about a method for construction of an azalide fundamental skeleton, using a leucomycin-class 16-membered macrolide as a starting material, by first carrying out a ring-opening of the aglycone and then recyclization utilizing the conjugated double bond between the 10- and 13-positions as a key position of the reaction.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

The 16-membered macrolides have high sensitivity to various reactions such as hydrolysis reaction under a strong acidic or basic condition, alkylation reaction using a strong base, and Grignard reaction, and such reactions may sometimes cause degradation of a fundamental skeleton or formation of byproducts. Whilst, as for azithromycin, artisans experienced discoveries of useful substances using erythromycin as a starting material by novel skeletal conversions. Accordingly, a method for unique skeletal conversion using a 16-membered macrolide as a starting material has been desired.

Therefore, the inventors of the present invention was interested in synthesis of novel azalides and novel diazalides having a nitrogen atom in their lactone rings which are derived from leucomycin-class 16-membered macrolides. They are also interested in antibacterial activities of the novel azalides and diazalides and in their effects on pharmacodynamics.

The present invention relates mainly to useful and novel 15-membered azalide derivatives and novel 16-membered diazalide derivatives which are derived from leucomycin-class 16-membered macrolides, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, synthetic intermediates thereof, and methods for preparation thereof.

The inventors of the present invention conducted various studies to achieve the foregoing object. Using leucomycin-class macrolides as starting materials and focusing on conjugated double bonds between the 10- and 13-positions of their lactone ring, they carried out oxidative cleavage for derivatization to novel dialdehyde intermediates and the like unreported so far. In addition, they found a method for constructing azalide and diazalide fundamental skeletons by successive cyclization reaction using amines. Further, by applying these techniques, they created novel 15-membered azalide and novel 16-membered diazalide derivatives introduced with various side chains on the nitrogen atom in the lactone ring.

As a result, the inventors found that a certain class of derivatives of the compounds of the present invention had increased antibacterial activities compared with leucomycin analogues as starting materials, and the antibacterial activities were not reduced under physiological conditions, thereby achieved the present invention. In addition, they succeeded in synthesizing macro-membered, i.e., 15- and 16-membered, nitrogen-containing aliphatic hetero rings, which have been almost unknown so far, from dialdehyde intermediates by using primary amines or dialkylhydrazines.

The compounds of the present invention have one or two nitrogen atoms at 11th position or at 11th and 12th positions counterclockwise from the carbonyl group tentatively regarded as 1-position, which azalide have not been reported so far. Further, diazalides of a class those having nitrogen atoms at the adjacent 11- and 12-positions have not been reported.

Test Example 1 Antibacterial Activity Test

Antibacterial activities in vitro of the compounds of Examples 19 and 25 were measured as follows by referring to the standard method of Japanese Society of Chemotherapy (Chemotherapy, Vol. 29, p. 76-79, 1981). Antibacterial activities of miokamycin (MOM) was measured in the same manner for comparison.

For each of the solutions of the test drugs, which were dissolved in methanol so as to be 6,400 μg/ml, serial two-fold diluents with methanol were prepared. Each 200 μl of the test drug solutions prepared was placed in a laboratory dish, and the agar medium for sensitivity measurement, which was added with 5% equine sterile defibrinated blood, 15 μg/ml, β-Nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide and 2.5 μg/ml hemin, was dispensed in 10 ml aliquots into the dish and then mixed with the solution for dilution to prepare the agar plate containing the test drug. A given amount of the liquid medium for the sensitivity measurement, which was prepared so as to contain a given amount of test bacterium was inoculated on the agar plate containing the test drug by a microplanter (Sakuma Seisakusyo, Co. Ltd.), and after the inoculation, the plate was incubated at 37° C. for about 20 hours. After the incubation, the existence of growth of the test bacterium was visually observed, and a minimum concentration at which no growth was observed was defined as a minimum inhibitory concentration of a test drug (MIC) against each of test bacteria. The results are shown in Table 1. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC, μg/ml) Compound of Compound of Test bacterium Example 19 Example 25 MOM Staphylococcus aureus Smith 0.5 0.5 1 Micrococcus luteus 0.03 0.03 0.13 ATCC9341 Streptococcus pneumoniae 0.06 0.06 0.25 DP1 TypeI Streptococcus pneumoniae 0.13 0.06 0.25 IP692 Moraxella catarrhalis 0.25 0.25 1 W-0506 Haemophilus influenzae 9334 2 1 4 (Note) Medium used: Blood agar medium using Medium-N for sensitivity disc “Nissui” as the base medium

The compounds of Examples 19 and 25 according to the present invention gave higher antibacterial activities than MOM. Further, the present inventors also verified that the 16-membered diazalide in which leucomycin 16-membered macrolide was chemically modified gave excellent antibacterial activities, although the results are not particularly demonstrated.

Test Example 2 Antibacterial Activity after Treatment with Liver Homogenate

Antibacterial activities of the compound of Example 19 after treatment with mouse liver homogenate were examined as follows. Antibacterial activities of MOM were examined in the same manner for comparison. The liver was collected from a mouse, and added with a phosphate buffer to prepare 5% homogenate. A 50 μl of the test drug solution, dissolved in methanol so as to be 150 μg/ml, was added to 1.45 ml of the mouse liver homogenate, and the mixture was allowed to react at 37° C. Each portion of the reaction mixture was collected at the beginning of the reaction, and after 10, 20 and 40 minutes, and added with a given volume of an acetonitrile solution to prepare each bioassay sample for the measurement of a concentration of the test drug. A paper disc in 8 mm diameter was impregnated with a given amount of the sample for bioassay, and then the disc was placed on the agar plate prepared by suspending Micrococcus luteus ATCC9341 so as to contain a given amount of the bacterium, and the plate was incubated at 37° C. for about 20 hours. After the incubation, a diameter of growth inhibitory circle of Micrococcus luteus ATCC9341 observed around the paper disc was measured with a digital slide calipers. Standard solutions of the test drug at known concentrations, diluted and prepared with the mouse liver homogenate, were also treated in the same manner. On the basis of a calibration curve which was drawn from the concentrations and the diameters of growth inhibitory circles of the standard solutions, residual activities of the samples at the above sampling times were calculated, and compared with antibacterial activities at the beginning of the reaction.

As a result, apparent decreases in antibacterial activities of MOM were observed at 10, 20, and 40 minutes after the start of the reaction compared with the results at the start of the reaction. Whilst no decrease in antibacterial activities of the compound of Example 19 was observed even at 40 minutes after the start of the reaction.
